Hiatus

MOJOprof here is on ice until (or, if?) I get rehired somewhere.

A temporary solution to getting the MOJOprof twitterstream over to the MOJOprof FB page.

It's in a separate box from the Wall, but it will work for now. Here's the FB page.

Last two lectures posted finally

Here and here.

Facebook is being pissy.

It will only run the twitter feed through to my personal page rather than the MOJOprofessor page here, even though the setting is completely set to the MOJOprof page.

Lecture notes

"Who is on that railroad?!"

Possibility

How does using a Twitter widget like the one to the right seem? Does it satisfy the anti-Twitter contingent? I'd get to muse easily over at Twitter, and the blog would still be here as well...

Wouldnt that divide the conversation, though? 

Are you a "foamer"?

If you really liked Thursday's lecture, maybe so?

The market revolution spreading as a virus. :)

Ok-- the change in MOJOprofessor is on hold. Need some feedback

OK, not everybody likes me rolling this over to Twitter. For example, Just Some Dude suggests rolling over to Facebook:

"why not make a facebook account for the class?? students in class can add as friends and im pretty sure 99% of us have facebook. not too sure about twitter, i personally dont want to fall for that trap."

I'm open to the idea, especially since I could just mash a twitter stream into a FB page. What do other people think?

Here's one problem, though, as well. I already have a facebook, and-- as far as I understand the Facebook TOS-- you have to use your real name for an account. So how could I set up a page for the MOJOprof stuff without giving up the account I already use?

Overall, what are people's thoughts on this, or on anything related to making classes more interactive by using the good tools out there?

And another thing that came up...

I mentioned the great naysayer for my thoughts on the "New Cogntion" is Nick Carr. He just posted this blog entry which is excellent and indicative of the drift of his bigger argument that "Google is making us stupid."

Mr. Carr also linked to this satire that directly makes fun of my kind of ramblings!
